“Located in a lovely quiet village. There is a shared kitchen (not many restaurants nearby) and living room. Tatami mats covering the floors. Even a small courtyard garden. The owner is around a lot but doesn’t live there so it is just courteous to give him as accurate an arrival time as possible. It is 10-15 minutes walk from Kashiwabara station. The room was small but comfortable. A very nice place to stay.”
“Everything was absolutely delightful. People working here were really nice and helpful, the breakfast was amazing, everything is very tasteful and makes you feel like you traveled back in time. The little garden, the bathrooms... everything made me feel comfortable and peaceful.”
“Jonni was a wonderful host. He went far beyond the call of duty to make us feel at home and gave us an amazing week long stay in a beautiful town called Sakamoto in his lovely house. Okini Jonni. Dōmo arigatōgozaímasu!”
“Lovely hosts. Unique and amazing design. Manga dolls, fish tanks, movie regalia it’s like being in a museum. The rooms are small but very innovative. Host cleaned and restocked everyday. Good base to explore Shiga.”
“The owner was extremely friendly and adaptable to my situation, she was very kind and even let me keep my bags at the property ling after checkout time so that I could explore more of kyoto.
The beds are comfortable as well as the toilet and shower facilities.”
“Large and clean Japanese style room, very cozy and well equipped common space kitchen/ living room with a great terrace. Location just a few steps from the lake.
Toilets, showers and bath all super clean.”
“Excellent stay at this beautiful guest house during our cycle around Lake Biwa! It's an absolute gem of a place. The property itself is very well maintained, with traditional features throughout (such as the tatami room and the Kotatsu in the living room). The owners were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back! Highly recommended.”
“The owners were so friendly and caring! It was such a lovely experience staying with them!
If you want to have a relaxing day in a countryside area and just want to experience the laid back life there I recommend you to stay there. Besides it's not far to go to lake biwa by a little walking and to go to imazu to catch a ferry to chikubu Island.”
